Wow, some pretty supper, awesome, spectacular people God has put in our lives - counting YOU (if you are reading, you likely know our story)! Many we do not know but they/you have heard our cries for help to get our daughter home before time runs out.

Did I miss something? Maybe? I'm running in many directions lately but if it wasn't for the giving people above and many more we Could NOT do this all! We have too many things on our plate to run these fundraisers as they take lots of hands. heart and preparation! PLEASE help them be a success because much work & heart from others have been placed into each one of these! How can you help?->PRAY, PRAY, & PRAY for the next 29 days! Make GuanYa & our famiy a part of your daily prayers!->SHARE our events, our blogspot, our story->Assist/give to these kind people/events in anyway you can!It maybe though donations of food (items for spagetti, desserts, bread, salad, drinks), plates, items for sale/auction etc, etcOR maybe you can give of your time to help prepare, during or after the eventOR maybe you are willing to go around to businesses and ask for donations for the fundraisers (food, plates, items for auction)OR maybe you are willing to go around and post fliers about eventsOR maybe you can get up a bunch of your friends and attend the events - make it a party for all of us!OR maybe there is another way you can aid in making these fundraisers a success!->AND my brain is fried after going to sleep after 3am but hey that's just an hour later than my norm bedtime so why am I complaining?OH YEAH AND maybe you know of another way you can help! There are plenty of ways for you, your group, your friends, your kids, yourorganization to get involved if you are interested in helping!->Did I mention to Please PRAY? and Pray some more? Your prayers carry us through!

Well, I'm just not sure what to say about all the people (YOU) that have reached out to us though our journeys & loved our daughters enough to help! I guess with the advice of Mary Poppins I don't know what to say, so I'll simply say supercalafragalisticexpialadoshus! And if you have read this far it's a double supercalafragalisticexpialadoshus kind of day! Thank you & we are beyond BLESSED!!!!!
